Book a hotel near Dumfries House, Cumnock

"This was one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve had, and at £85 for the room, it is frankly unbelievable how poor the overall standard was. From the moment I arrived, the tone was set by an incredibly rigid and unfriendly approach. I asked about check-out time and was told it is strictly 11:00 AM, and even being 5 minutes late would result in a £20 charge. No flexibility, no understanding — just a transactional, almost punitive attitude towards guests. The condition of the hotel was equally off-putting. The entrance and stair carpets smelled strongly of dog hair, which is not exactly the welcome you expect. Sadly, the room didn’t improve things — it was small, with the same unpleasant carpet smell, making it feel unclean and uncomfortable. Basic amenities were shockingly absent. No water provided in the room, which is standard even in far cheaper places. Breakfast arrangements were also disappointing. It finishes at 9:30 AM, meaning if you want even a slightly relaxed morning, forget it. For a hotel charging these rates, this is completely unreasonable. Overall, the stay felt less like a hotel and more like being in a strict, joyless military lodge — no comfort, no hospitality, no flexibility. For £85, this is absolutely not worth the price. There are far better options elsewhere. I would strongly recommend avoiding this place. I have come all the way from London . I will never make the same mistake of staying here again. Will never recommend this hotel to anyone"

"Fabulous stay!"

"I have stayed at this hotel 3 times, it was bad but I kept going because of the staff at the restaurant, they were very friendly and helpful but staying last weekend was horrifying, amiss the bad weather and the fact that this hotel is in the middle of nowhere, bar and restaurant was closed and with no warning. I managed to book myself in a family room 😩, it was two single beds joined together with the most thinnest mattress, it felt as if you were lying on an empty spring bed. Fair enough the room was just been refurbished but only the walls and bathroom, bed was crap "

"Had a lovely stay. Breakfast staff were attentive and very friendly. Breakfast was cooked to order and arrived quickly.The leisure suite is a bit tired (jacuzzi was out of action, and looked like it had been for a while) however, this did not detract from the overall relaxed vibe of a charming old hotel. We would stay again."

"Lovely hotel with really friendly helpful staff nothing was too much trouble for them"

"We have just had the most incredible stay since the minute we arrived on Friday. The staff couldn’t be more helpful or friendly. Jasmine in the Spa is deserving of a special mention. As someone who rarely gets treatments, I was very unsure of myself she immediately put me at ease as well as delivering the most relaxing salt scrub. The pool afford fantastic views of the course and sea, which this weekend were wild with white horses racing to shore. The food in both eateries was exceptional, the burrata and blood orange and absolute revelation. And as for the cocktails, the perfect cherry on top- highly recommend the Smugglers Trail and the Slanj n Slainte. Thank you for an incredible stay, we are already looking forward to our next stay. "
